Chassis - Rolling Chassis

We have a rolling chassis! After 4 years and 2500 plus hours on CAD, it was very satisfying to eventually sit in the rolling chassis! We also weighed the chassis at this stage and it's 398Kgs. Next steps are to get the bodywork positioned correctly to the wheels, and then we will set-up datum fixing points for the shell, so we can remove and refit repeatable.

Then need to set about getting the rear body positioned correctly. I designed the rear body hinges and had them manufactured 6 months back, so once we are happy with the fit, we can then fit the hinges, and glass the tubes into the rear body. Also designed the door hinges and framework tubes several months back, and John manufactured door bucks. So again once we are happy with body fit, we need to get the doors set, recheck and modify the bucks, and then these can go to Wragg's in Wickford, Essex to manufacture the door tubes.
